Fuck Winter!!

I ride a bike to work...it's a 20 minute ride...so I possibly spend too much time reading the advance weather reports. But it's mid January ...the signs of spring are rife....

We're less than a month to catchers and pitchers reporting to camp and every year at this time I find myself rationalizing the cold weather away....

It's a multilayered process .....usually it begins with the Caribbean Series...of course this year we have the WBC.

If there's a time to reflect this is it...last year we were adrift .....a collective of baseball fanatics crying out to have a voice...what a change a year can bring..

In less than 12 months we have : Found a place to call our own, forged a unique identity, cried and laughed and cried some more.

We all know where we came from before...but in this environment that MK has provided us I have found myself free to comment ...and interact with fellow posters...be it stats or silly insights.

And yes I have posted....at crazy lengths it seems...hard thing to live up to...

So ...you'll find this missive devoid of multimedia assault or flashy frills...just a guy trying to be positive about the slow pace of the encroaching spring and possibly his team's approach to roster construction ....

That said...it's less than month till Pitchers and Catcher report! And for fucks sake ...Caribbean Series!

On a whole other note....you might notice I wallow in nostalgia.....so any further posts will most likely be about past players...thus the beauty ...some of you school me hard with stats and the current state of things....and well you should..it's appreciated.

OMG ...it's gonna be February soon....then March...and ST games on TV...we got some fun coming up...

Thank all of you for being here....and thank MK...crappy post but I'll leave you with a song...
